In this section, you will view a video that shows how to find specific function values.

Functions are often represented using function notation. As you saw in the video, function notation is usually written with a letter such as f, g, H followed by a variable in a parenthesis. The function f(x) is read as “f of x” and does not imply multiplication between the two variables. It’s just a mathematical way of giving the rule that could be used to generate a table of values.

After viewing the video, use your notes to explain how function notation is similar to y = notation and how to find specific function values.
